This is concerning and I am sorry for your medical bills.

When I was in the hospital wondering what it would cost if I was where you  
are.

If you come to Canada you will be issued a special number and you will be  
treated for anything, for free for life. (I asked)  It's just a fact that  
I did not know. I was surprised. I know a few Americans who moved here for  
the Sociaized medicine out of need. I think I would confirm what that lady  
said to me.

Ambulance was $150

It is a drag when you possibly can't work and you need the services you  
can't afford because you aren't. I know some Americans who are in that  
boat.

France has a wonderful medical system and housing and...............
My son lived there for a while living in a camper while teaching school.

I hear Cape Breton Nova Scotia is nice this time of year


 Cheers,

Alan

My mother died of Congestive Heart Failure, she thought is was a flu.

It pleases me that you have some support.
